I noticed a couple very nice throws that Studsrud doesn't seem to make (Bartles also had a really bad throw...probably a timing/miscommunication issue). But Studsrud is the runner that the coaches seem want the offense to be. The Defense lost the game for us on Saturday. (or injuries lost the game).

"Noise to content ratio" is pretty obvious here.

You do know that UND officials in March addressed concerns about a budget shortfall of up to $29 Million thanks to a change in state funding formula when they went to speak at the states senate appropriations committee. It hit the papers months ago. This isn't some secret that you thought it was that nobody was reporting.

You noticed that too. So calm he acted like every play was a dead ball.

That's the problem. You hear oh bad run d especially on the outside. What does Und do. They try to exploit weakness they noticed. What does isu do, worked on fixing a weakness everyones noticed. Isu figured out you can't run against Und. They said OK fine. And picked apart the Und d all day long.

Double cover the receivers!!

Bartles: "All I do is lead touchdown drives."

Und shooting themselves in the foot. Penalties fumbles. Isu qb starting to tear up the Und secondary.

Can't get any pressure on the qb.

To get rid of the "Sit down and cheer" flashing across the bottom of the video boards before the games.

Yes my bad. I thought Potato Bowl was last game. But it was the home opener. Which is usually the most attended game of the year. Last game was under 9,000. Which is probably about what it'll be tomorrow if I had to guess.

FYP.

It appears they are using UND hockey and its fans as a way to help them negotiate their contract with Directv (or was is Dish?) They are running ads saying something about UND hockey on ABC call the satellite company and make sure you can still get the games. I was like "Wait, what?! I've never seen a UND hockey game on ABC in years..."

UND is starting to have a target on its back leading the conference.

Exactly. UND Football won a National Championship at UND under the "Ben" logo. And Fast. Dave not so much. That guy couldn't win a semifinal game to save his life. It's not the logo that was cursed.

I got my vehicle tags up dated at the DMV in Fargo. They literally have a whole wall dedicated to Teddy Roosevelt and the Roughriders. Pretty cool display to see.

And in other earth shattering news......LA isn't know for its Lakes either.

"Sack City" started out as a group of students in the front row putting up a sign in their front of the railing counting the sacks. The Alerus started using it officially on the video boards for "funsies." I guess those students graduated, and the Alerus thought it was pointless during the Muss era when there was one sack a game.

While reading the last page, one thing comes to mind. I was a student at UND in the "glory days of UND football" 2001-2005. And for most of those game the upper student sections were still about half full if that. There was pages and pages on this message board complaining about the student populations at the football games. Winning will not solve all. Fans need to realize, "It is what it is."

Where do these rumors even start: Twitter or Facebook? Vote for Nodaks. It'll help cancel out a Fighting Hawks vote and push RoughRiders further ahead. **North Dakota isn't a nickname.

I just watched a PBS special titled: "Theodore Roosevelt: A Cowboy's Ride to the White House," and how much he really loved North Dakota. His love of the outdoors, how after his mom and wife died on the same day, he returned to North Dakota to find solitude. How his speech in Dickinson preludes his presidential speak. How Teddy Roosevelt wanted UND to be the RoughRiders as just before he died he was asked, how he wanted to be remembered: "A man of the West, A man of the Dakotas."

UND Fighting Nodaks. That's not bad, but too bad that's not what we get to vote on.

Theres a big difference (at least in my mind) to shortening North Dakota for a companies name, which sounds completely natural. Nodak Electric Cooperative. Nodak Mutual Insurance. To actually calling someone from North Dakota a Nodak. If the term "NoDak" was popular in North Dakota why didn't UND already try and use it for a T shirt or two? NoDak Fighting Sioux? In todays world, that logo would have to be "polygender." I just cant imagine a decent logo for North Dakota Nodaks. But I can for.... Roll Riders.

North Dakota, per capita, takes in the most refugees.
